"It was a great team effort. Disappointed with the way I got out. So I wanted to do something special," Bravo said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

Bravo also credited MS Dhoni for the way he led his side and said the catch to get rid of Suryakumar Yadav running in from long-on boundary was a "special one".

"Well done to Mahi (Dhoni), he led the team very well and won us the game and that catch was really special one, it reminded me 4-5 years ago when I started playing international cricket. I still have it in me, I believe," he said.

Asked about bowling at the death, Bravo quipped:"I prepare myself to defend 14 off the last over and if anything is over 14, it is a bonus. This is the kind of situations I practise, bowling to(Brendon) McCullum and (Kieron) Pollard back home.
